The Garden Bountiful Readers are invited to use cussion of their garden to The Garden Editor, . answered in this column as oblems. Questions addressed e Oshawa Daily Times will be department will appear in The Times twice a week. this department for a dis- promptly as possible. This Practically everyone cherishies the ambition of a garden some day. Even the golfer or ardent fishur- man who usually disappears aa the first fine spring day secretdy plags a display of flowers or a sup- ply of vegetables but like too many of us puts off the matter until it ds teo late. But there is really no need why even the busiest man in town should not have both his own flowers and vegetables because very little time is required agu thers is but trifling expense. Onjy a small piece of ground is needed; even the apartment dweller with a window ledge or two at his dispos- al can have something. A faw hours planning by the fireside n and the laying in of a small stoek of seeds, fertilizer, and one or two tools will result in amazing ne- turns later on. Make Plans It is possible, of course, to put in a garden without a plan, but the results will not be as satisfactoxy. It is advisable to lay out the vegdt- able plot and the flower garden on paper, roughly drawing the same to scale. Where space is limited, the vegetable rows for those nar row-growing 'sorts like spinadh, carrots, beets and lettuce, may he cut down to twelve inches with the more spreading sorts like beans, peas, corn, tomatoes, fifteen 10 eighteen inches. This, of courage, is very narrow, and one would have to be careful in cultivating. To make the space more effective, it is well to alternate the quickly ma- turing stuff such as lettuce, spinach and radishes, with the vegetables which are not harvested until late in the season. Then, before these later sorts need full room the eat- lier ones are removed and eated. There are a few flowers, too, whick should be included in the vegetable patch, either because their foliage is not particularly attractive or where the blooms are 'to be used for cutting material to fill the vases indoors. «In the small city garden it is a godd plan also to have a few annuals in the vegetable patch, merely for the sake of good looks, because. in this case it is oftun tm- possible to screen off the kitchen) garden distinctly from the flower beds. Sweet peas, which are among the first flowers planted, usually do best in the vegetable patch grown in a straight row and given frequent cultivation. Flower Plans In planning the flower garden, three or four important facture must be considered. Among these, time of flowering, color of bloom, and the height of the plant should be particularly noted. Where at all possible, avoid straight rows and plant in clumps of one color and one variety. Straight edges, such as walls of buildings, fences and paths, should be disguisea by arranging clumps of shrubbery and flowers in front. As a general rule, use 'dwarf edging material-- seed catalogues will' be found io list the heights of all flowers--at the front of the bed, with the taller sorts towards the back. In laying out the garden, oné should include sufficient varieties so that some- thing will 'be in bloom practically all summer, and clumps must be arranged sb that the disappearance of the early bloomers will not leave great gaps but some later flowers will come on to take their place. Artistically-inclined people may be shocked unless care is taken to choose non-clashing colors among flowers at the same time. Garden Invaluable There will always be many crit- ics who will maintain that, if the labour involved in gardening was valued at so.much an hour, it would be cheaper to buy vegetables and flowers. Such a calculation, however, neglects to take into con- sideration the exercise and pleas- ure derived from the growing of vegetables and flowers upon which no proper yalue can be placed. No money could purchase the quality of vegetables grown within a few vards of the kité¢hen, or the flow- ers fresh picked from the beds at the door. Somet/ New Do not be content with the same flowers and vegetables year after year. Certain locations and soil will suit certain types of plants, but there is no reason why some of the newer sorts should not fit in as well as those already proven. In the flower line, besides such well known sorts as zinnias, marigolds, petunias, and phlox, there are less- er known. beauties like calliopsis, godetia, calendula; lupins, annual larkspur, scabiosa, salpiglossis, California poppies, schizanthus or Butterfly flower, and several oth- ers now listed and fully described in the best catalogues. Some of these are worth trying in every garden. Among the vegetables one would de well to experiment with the cos lettuce, a new spinach, as- paragus, Brussels sprouts, cress, Swiss chard, endive, kohl mabi, vegetable marrow, or some of the herbs. ; Best Vegetable Varieties The following list of vegetables suitable for planting in Canada is recommended by the Government authorities at Ottawa; Asparagus- Washington, satisfactory from the standpoint of disease resistance and a good cropper; Beans,--Pen- cil Pod Wax, Round Pod Kidney Wax, Stringless Green Pod, with Kentucky Wonder Wax and Ken- tucky Green Pod as pole sorts; Beets,--Flat Egyptian Early and Detroit Dark .Red later; Cabbage, --Golden Acre, ag a round-headed first early, followed by Copenhag- en Market and Enkhuizen Glory as mid-season, with short stem Dan- ish Ballhead for winter storage. Cauliflower,--Early Snowball and Early Dwart Erfurt. . Carrotg-- Chantenay and Danvers. Corn, -- of the early varieties Cory, Golden Bantam, Early Malcolm, and Cros by are recommended, with Stow- ell's Evergreen for later use, Cu- cumbers,--Improved White Spine and Davis Perfect. Celenry--Gold- en Plume or Wonderful and White Plume which is good for Winter keeping. Lettuce--Grand Rapids is one of the most popular leaf va- rieties, with New York and Han- son where a head sort is wanted. Muskmelons ---- Montreal Market, Rocykford, and Hackensack are all good varieties, ag well as Hearts of Gold, Miller's Cream or Osage, Bender Surprise Gem. Onion--Yellow Globe Dan- vers, Red Whethersfield, Prize Taker Yellow Globe and Red Globe. Peas--Thomas Laxton, tam, Gradus, Little' Marvel, Laxton Progress, and of course American Wonder. Parsnip--Hollow Crowa. Radish--Scarlet Turnip Whité Tip, French Breakfast, and Scarlet Globe. Spinach--Bloomsdale and New Zealand. Swiss Chard---this vegetable is used as a spinach while the fleshy stem may be cook- ed as asparagus. It is available in White or Red stem. Tomatoes-- Canadian as first early, followed by Chalk's Early Jewel, Livingstone's Globe, Earliana, John Baer, Bonny Best is one of the best of forcing sorts. It is well to remember that the quality of the seeds is even more important than variety, and that vegetables to have the highest quality must be grown quicky. To get this result, beds must be thor- oughly worked before and after seeding and a quickly available fer- tilizer, such as nitrate of soda, should be applied every two weeks during the early part of the sea- son. The easiest way to apply this is to dissolvé about a tablespoonful in a gallon of water, and soak the ground about the plants with a watering can. BIG HAUL OF WHALE BY NORWEGIAN SHIP Arouse Enormous Economic Value to Australia of Antarctic Regions Sydney. -- A 5,000,000 pounds sterling haul of 'whale oil in three voyages by a Norwegian whaler has aroused a public sense of the enormous economic value to Austra- lia of the Antarctic regions. In the controversy among the great powers, Great Britain, the United States and the Argentine, over territorial rights in the South Polar regions, Australia watches every move with the greatest inter- est. Great Britain's policy in the Antarctic is greatly influenced by the proximity of Australia and New Zéa- land to the frozen lands of the South. ° 3 The Antarctic expedition under Sir Douglas Mawson, which the Fed- eral government will send out next November, will devote itself more to the possibilities of commercial exploi- tation than to the usual polar explor- ation. It is intended to be more use- ful than spectacular. Sir Douglas possesses Antarctic experience and he is regarded as equipped in a very high degree to gauge the economic possibilities. Sir Douglas Mawson has a fine record of achievement in the south- ern polar seas. The expedition which he led in 1911-14 explored 1840 square miles of land and frozen sea. His notable discovery was the de- termining of the South Magnetic Pole, which feat stands to his credit in association with Sir Bdgeworth David, the Australian geologist and explorer. That was in the Shackle- ton expedition in 1907-9 when Sir Douglas was 25 years old: INTERIOR OF EARTH DENCE LIQUID GLASS New York. -- The interior of the earth is a sea of dense liquid glass on which the oceans and continents forming the crust of the globe float and slide, Dr. Reginald A. Daly, professor of geology at Har- vard' University, told the members of the Seismological Society of Ame- rica at the organization's annual con- vention at Fordham University. At the center of the earth, reach- ing outward to about one-half of its radius is a core which exists under the tremendous pressure of 50,000, 000 pounds a square inch and under the intense heat of more than 50,000 degrees centigrade, according to the new picture of the earth drawn by the Harvard geologist. This core, Dr. Daly explained, is surrounded by successive shells, each relatively homogeneous, but not too sharply bounded. The outer shell forms the earth's crust on which we live and is some thirty miles deep. The commonest rock of this outer continental shell is some variety of granite; that of the underlying layer is a heavier, dark-colored basalt, similar to some of the volcanic lavas. Beneath that, probably surrounding the actual core, is a shell consisting of material not. unlike the metallic iron of the meteorites. In advancing his explanation of what lies below thé shallow skin of the earth, long a scientific riddle, Dr. Daly said his theory of a liquid glags interior is based on a study of "X-raying the earth." He suggested that his theory may bring disagree- ment from some scjentists who still adhere to the thought that the earth is "a molten ball of fiery material and Emerald | Blue Ban- ness will be carried on as Rustness As Usual!

Earthquake, volcanoes and the for- mation of new mountain ranges owe their origin to landslides of great blocks of the earth's crust riding on the great subterranean sea of glass, Dr. Daly added. The crumplings on the down side of a great slide caused mountains to rise and allowed great outflowings of the lava and gave birth to volcanoes, he said. These earth movements, he went on, are caused by the tendency of an un- finished and distorted earth to cor- rect its symmetry. FOSSILS DISCLOSE SECRETS AGES OLD Scientists Have Not Yet Classified Many Prints Found Canon City, Colo. -- A path- way made by gigantic animals of many million years ago is the lat: est find in Colorado fossils. It les 900 feet below the surface, in the Chandler coal mine near here. It was discovered by Andrew Wilson, a worker in the mine, In the roof above a six-foot drift of coal he noticed oddly shaped for- mations of sandstone that resembled huge footprints. Although ihe tracks were numerous, one pair es pecially attracted attention, visible for a distance of 150 feet, until they were blotted by other similar tracks. He blasted loose two of the forma- tions and took them to the surface. They were great, three-toed tracks, the largest 401% inches from heel to tip of the big toe and 32 inches across. They resemble the tracks of dino- saurs, but of a much larger variety than previously identified in this sec- tion. Scientists have not yet classified the beast. They think it may have weighed five or six toms, that it walked on two feet and used its tail for balance when erect. It lived, they say, when Colorado enjoyed tropical weather. MIMIC WARFARE T0 BE STAGED IN OHIO 200 Planes to Participate in an Attack on New York Washington, D.C., May 18--"Dog fights" between opposing planes in midair, bombing raids on sleeping cities, and war-time aerial manoey- vers that lack only a real enemy will be brought to'the skies above thous sands of homes in Ohio and sur rounding states this month, Just as the navy's fleets concen- trate each year for a demonstration of their power, so the army air corps will bring together more than 200 planes from all parts of the mation to participate in a gigantic 10-day battle. . . } New York City will get a taste of a night bombing raid launched from Dayton, Ohio, to cripple the metro polis, and millions of housewives Cincinnati's destruction through a national radio hookup May 18, Colonel John 8. Pratt is in com- mand of the Red forces, to be based at Columbus, while Major John Rey- nolds is chief of the Blue squadrons, to be concentrated at Dayton. The combat will start at midnight May 156 and continue 10 days. Photographic planes will fly to the "enemy" industrial centers, photo- graph them from the air with a few clicks of the camera shutter, and re- turn with the developed pictures to be dropped to the ground. Attack plans will be laid on the basis of the pictures. Radio is to be used for two-way communication with the ground to report the battle's . progress from planes to the home airdrome, and to make possible the most efficient use of the planes available for edth mis- sion. A radio plane flying with the bat- tle formation when Cincinnati is at- tacked on the afternoon of May 18 by mere than 200 planes will broad- cast a description of the conflict as it is waged above the city. The story will be broadcast on a national radio hookup, making it possible for mil lions to follow the battle's progress --a real innovation in "war-time" manoeuvers. A giant bomber, carrying six men and the equivalent of two 1,100 pound bombs, will stage a night bombing raid on New York City | | Re-conditione | Used Cars Soran $500 g Sis 2 Cov pe. , $800 !
